None of the locations seemed to get real air flow. will one fit in the grill before the radiator? It looks like a 10 row might. How do you mount it from the sides, botto...

Re: oil pressure problem or not?

I was afraid that was the case . I just got the motor back in.
I think i will give it a little while before attacking the oil punp.
I want to get the rings to seat before pulling the motor again.

Thanks again for all of your replys.

Morris Minor Postal Van trafficators

I aquired a Morris Minor Postal Van that looks like it originally had trafficators installed. After looking at most Vans i do not see trafficators. Were these an option on the postal van? Or did some one pull off the blanking plates for some reason and never replace them. If there were trafficators ...

Re: what do you think of the interior?

Charlie,

Do you have any pictures of the finished product?

Re: Locking fuel cap

is that Wilmot Breeden - 26090 ?

It is kind of hard to read - probably because of my eyes.
Being an old guy i find things seem to always be harder to do these days.

Re: chrome locking vented petrol cap

I reposted it here because it was not really body work.
I figured this was a better fit for the question.
OTHER - because i do not consider it part of the body.
More of an extra like a mirror of badge.

Re: 2 speed wipers Push-Pull Type switch

Mike,

My friend is coming into town this week end to see his mom who lives near me.
So i will have the light switct then. Let me know what you find out.
It sounds possible to split the two - now we have to see if it can be done with out distroying the switch.

Re: 2 speed wipers Push-Pull Type switch

Neil, I started thinking about the light switch. Are you sure the switch would work? When you pull the switch to the first position it turns on the running lights. When you pull it to the second position it turns on the head lights - But there is still power to the running light because they stay on...

Re: 2 speed wipers Push-Pull Type switch

I was thinking of using the light switch when i first started this project.
I was hoping some one was one step ahead of me and had tried it.
It is good to hear that works with the 2-speed wipers.

Thank You to every one for there replies.
You have made my project much easier.
